Thank you for listening, this is show 227. We’re convening the Council of Great Relevance for the topic “Gifts for Geeks” on December 7th, 2012.
My name is Casey, Vince is here as well and joining the council are,
SciFi Movie Blogger and resident gamer girl, Christine Myers
he’s the supervisor of dining at the Liverpool Golf Club, John Higham
and from Yonkers, New York, helping to keep the world’s codebase muddy, Michael Foley.

“Her Universe is the vision of Ashley Eckstein, actress and voice of Ahsoka Tano in Star Wars: The Clone Wars....Hoping to change the perception that science fiction and fantasy is not just for the boys, Her Universe, has joined forces with Lucasfilm and Syfy to create merchandise exclusively for female fans.” Finally I have been saying this for years and years!
